Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

That damn Hidan, that damn idiot! Who said you can't be strong in your teens?!

"Although the leader stipulates that internal strife is not allowed within the organization, you have so many hearts, you won't die anyway, so I'll give you two more cuts."

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed instantly at the words of the Ancient Wood Demon. He cursed inwardly, wishing he hadn't said that.

"Gu Mu, stop right there!"

Hidan, who had been watching the battle, planned to come and provide support.

Before he could launch an attack, Kakuzu immediately interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Hidan, don't make things difficult for yourself. Although you won't die, this guy will torture you to the point of collapse."

The sheer terror he felt just now made Jiao realize that the person before him was definitely not someone he could afford to provoke.

He began to wonder what this guy had gone through all these years.

Chapter 100 Training Naruto: You'd better become a Naruto with Killing Intent!!

"I didn't realize you were so perceptive."

Koki did not finish off Kakuzu's remaining heart. Just as he said, he only needed to teach him a lesson.

"Gu Mu, it was my fault. I will be more careful in the future."

Kakuzu was unaware of Koki's murderous intent and breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

He's lived this long, and his motto is: tough on people, not soft on them.

Life is more important than anything else; dignity and such can go to hell.

Hidan, having become Kakuzu's partner, naturally knew of Kakuzu's strength, and upon seeing Kakuzu, he acted like an obedient child.

He wisely refrained from interrupting.

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid. Hidan didn't think he would do something so masochistic.

Gu Mu ignored the two of them; he had no intention of following the Akatsuki to capture the Tailed Beasts.

It would be better to hurry up and train Naruto to speed up the pace of the story.

......

Because the ancient tree imprinted its soul mark on the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Therefore, the ancient tree could easily sense the location of the nine-tailed fox.

He is currently located at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain.

Beneath a waterfall, the silhouette of an ancient tree appears beside a pool.

"Come out."

As Gu Mu finished speaking, a blond-haired boy appeared beside him.

Nine scarlet chakra tails appeared behind that guy, and he had red fox markings on his face. His red vertical pupils looked extremely oppressive.

"Master, is something the matter?"

Upon sensing the ancient tree's command, the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately waited here for the ancient tree to arrive.

"I want you to accept Naruto and make him the perfect Jinchuriki. Can you do that?"

Gu Mu's abrupt words left Nine-Tailed Fox completely bewildered.

“Master, a perfect Jinchūriki cannot be achieved by me alone; it also depends on Naruto’s wishes.”

Kurama was very dissatisfied, wondering why he had to approve of Naruto, this little brat, but unfortunately it was Koki's order.

Is he still unconscious?

"Yes, as per Master's request, I sealed off Naruto's consciousness so that he could not perceive the outside world."

"Now, break the seal and then cooperate with me in a performance."

"Eh?? Okay."

Nine-Lama looked surprised, but since he and Gu Mu were now of one mind, he could instantly understand Gu Mu's plan.

As Kurama released the seal that had imprisoned Naruto's consciousness, Koki immediately grabbed Naruto's head and quickly suppressed the Nine-Tails inside Naruto's body.

"What...what happened?"

Naruto Uzumaki, who had regained consciousness, looked completely bewildered.

"Where is the lecherous immortal?"

Naruto Uzumaki touched his head, looking around with a puzzled expression, and soon noticed the old tree that was holding his head.

"That guy abandoned you, don't you know that?"

The sound of the ancient tree echoed in Naruto's ears.

"It's you!!"

"You're lying to me, you lecherous immortal! You'll never abandon me!"

Upon seeing the ancient tree, Naruto's expression immediately turned serious, and he prepared to launch an attack.

Unfortunately, without the Nine-Tails' help, Naruto's attack methods were completely inadequate.

"Whether I lied to you or not, you'll know once you go back to Konoha."

Gu Mu grabbed Naruto's small hand.

"Besides, I am your savior. As for Jiraiya, he didn't even look for you and fled back to Konoha."

Upon hearing the words "savior," Naruto's initial hostility lessened somewhat.

After all, Naruto Uzumaki didn't know Koki. To dispel his doubts, Naruto asked again, "What is your relationship with Orochimaru? Are you his subordinate?"

"What subordinate? My relationship with Orochimaru is merely a business transaction. I am just a wandering swordsman who happened to pass by and saw you being tormented by the Nine-Tails, so I kindly stepped in to stop it."

"However, judging from your situation, it's likely that you'll be imprisoned or expelled from Konoha, just like me."

Upon hearing Koki's words, Naruto immediately shook his head: "Impossible. The villagers must be looking for me right now. I have to go back immediately."

"Excuse me, may I ask what your name is?"

Ancient Wood responded softly: "Ancient Wood."

"Brother Gumu, please don't judge the ninjas of Konoha so casually. They will not easily abandon their comrades."

"Also, thank you for your help. Hope we meet again someday."

Naruto Uzumaki spoke earnestly, and seeing that Koki showed no hostility, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As he watched Naruto Uzumaki's figure gradually disappear, Koki wore an amused smile.

What a saintly Naruto! You'd better hurry up and turn evil.

......

Naruto Uzumaki, having just entered the border of the Land of Fire, soon encountered Konoha ANBU ninjas who were searching for him.

Upon spotting Naruto Uzumaki, the ANBU ninjas, like ghosts, immediately surrounded him with solemn expressions.

Naruto Uzumaki saw that these people were indeed looking for him, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Thank you all for your hard work, but I can return to Konoha on my own."

Just as Naruto was still feeling self-satisfied, several ANBU members were already exchanging glances, having already taken Naruto in front of them as the Nine-Tails in disguise.

They exchanged glances and decided to either seal him away or kill him on the spot.

The out-of-control Jinchuriki could no longer bring peace of mind to the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 101 Massacre of Anbu Ninjas

"Are you ninjas from Konoha?"

Naruto felt the sharp gazes around him and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice: "Go!!"

Before he finished speaking, two small teams, totaling six Anbu ninjas, rushed towards Naruto Uzumaki without hesitation.

Their movements were swift and decisive, clearly indicating they had undergone rigorous training, and their actions were ruthless and decisive.

One of them even sent out a special notification signal into the sky without any hesitation.

Soon, the patrolling ninjas noticed the commotion and rushed over.

Their expressions were wary and serious, indicating that someone must have discovered the Nine-Tailed Fox's whereabouts.

"what's the situation?"

"I am Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki of Konoha." Naruto Uzumaki tried to explain, but his voice was full of anxiety and helplessness.

He was no match for these powerful elite ANBU ninjas.

In just a few breaths, he was easily pinned to the ground.

"Of course we know you're Naruto Uzumaki, and we're after you—Naruto Uzumaki!!"

The masked squad leader sneered, his words carrying a sinister aura.
